    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Day to day responsibilities included a lot of data inputting and excel work. As well as this I was shadowing Client Viewings with some of the experienced hires, but this was dependant on client demand/ activity levels.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It was a lot to learn in the space of two weeks, I think it would have been useful to have more time, and would have been slightly less intimidating. However, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn in the little time I had here.
